The Gilbertson Lab
@Gilbertson_Lab
Lab of Prof. Richard Gilbertson! Our lab works on the Cellular and molecular origins of cancer particularly pediatric brain tumors and stem cell potency.











A newly discovered immune pathway could lead to gentler treatments for multiple childhood brain cancers, according to new research from our @Gilbertson_Lab published today in @NatureGenet . Listen to first author @elizabetha_coop discuss their findings. cruk.cam.ac.uk/news/new-immun…

So excited to be be awarded a project grant with @BRUKresearch to continue my work in the @Gilbertson_Lab to map immune defences in the developing brain, and how these may be subverted in paediatric disease - you can read more below! brainresearchuk.org.uk/research-proje…



















Very excited to share our latest preprint – We find that childhood brain tumours instruct cranial haematopoiesis allowing immunotolerance of childhood brain tumours and CNS development. A thread 1/11 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @Gilbertson_Lab @CRUK_CI @LPTrustUK @BrainTumourOrg

A tough farewell to my MPhil Student today who has been an absolute privilege to supervise and I’m so excited to see what she does next - albeit quietly hoping she comes back for a PhD in a couple years … A tremendous amount of work which we hope to share soon! @Gilbertson_Lab
